    I remember Cations are positive because the t looks like a + sign. Ca+ion



  2. Pavlova on May 19, 2022 at 11:14 pm

    he did not explain the prefixes and suffixes well.



  3. Junk on May 19, 2022 at 11:14 pm

    On "# of Atoms" on the chart, I don’t understand what "-IC" means. Can anyone help.



  4. Zafit z on May 19, 2022 at 11:15 pm

    if you turn the speed down to 0.75 it literally sounds normal



  5. Juanita W on May 19, 2022 at 11:15 pm

    … HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!



  6. wolfamongsheeple on May 19, 2022 at 11:16 pm

    Right. I’m lost.



  7. Rocky P on May 19, 2022 at 11:18 pm

    ‘Hank Green’ you are mistaken they are not Arabic numerals they are Indian of origin.



  8. MusicSounds on May 19, 2022 at 11:21 pm

    "3-keto-2-carboxy arabinitol"
    I know phonetics but Hank this is just flexing lmfao



  9. Andy boi on May 19, 2022 at 11:21 pm

    threeketotwocarboxyarabinitol? how about ethylbispropanaminoethylmethylphosphonate?



  10. CrispyCreamer on May 19, 2022 at 11:22 pm

    Who’s science teacher made you watch this in E-learning? Like



  11. kelvin borges on May 19, 2022 at 11:23 pm

    ok but watching this video and being from Belgium and understanding those languages… Yeah I felt confident learning this stuff



  12. Bernadette M on May 19, 2022 at 11:24 pm

    I “ATE” something “IC”y and now I m“ITE” be s“IC”k



  13. Ryan on May 19, 2022 at 11:24 pm

    Does an acid have to have (aq) next to it to be called an acid?



  14. Janhvi Parsai on May 19, 2022 at 11:25 pm

    So when I wake up smelling waffles and potatoes and see a man who looks like Ron Swanson, I should assume I’m in Belgium? Nah, I’m going to assume I woke up in a Parks and Recreation episode.



  15. Wendy Wilkinson on May 19, 2022 at 11:27 pm

    If you were confused… try watching it 2x speed. No wonder I was like he’s talking extra fast today



  16. Paul on May 19, 2022 at 11:29 pm

    WHY? SO? FAST? Slow dows your speach.

  18. pawmin88 on May 19, 2022 at 11:35 pm

    Great content. Can’t thank you enough. A small correction : It’s ‘Indo Arabic’ or ‘Hindu Arabic’ numerals not just Arabic numerals.

    Two chemists walked into a bar,
    Joe asked for H20. Jim asked for H20 too.
    Jim died.

    Ion like these jokes, i can’t barium.

  47. Izzy Billings on May 20, 2022 at 12:06 am

    That analogy at the beginning took a minute to get to the point and is very specific, but it’s somehow so true



  48. Inconspicuous Mice on May 20, 2022 at 12:07 am

    I’m pretty sure Hank just explained a topic in 10 minutes clearer than my teacher did in 5 days…

    If only we had teachers like this



  49. Unused Space SR on May 20, 2022 at 12:09 am
